Quack2Tex 🦆

Ever found yourself battling with equations while writing papers in LaTeX, wishing there was a way to just snap a picture and boom—LaTeX code? Well, I did too. After too many late nights and too much coffee, I finally decided to do something about it. The result? Quack2Tex.

Quack2Tex is a handy tool that facilitates turning images of math equations and charts into LaTeX code, quickly and easily!. But it doesn't stop there! It also has cool features like guessing the location from a photo, identifying recipes from food pictures, and explaining code from images. Rendered as a floating menu on your screen, Quack2Tex is always at your fingertips, making it easy to access anytime you need it.

🧠 Powered By

Under the hood, Quack2Tex leverages state-of-the-art multimodal models like Gemini, GPT-4o, and Lava to analyze the content in the images. Whether you're converting handwritten notes into LaTeX or identifying the location of a stunning sunset photo, Quack2Tex has you covered.
